I'm using only the binary releases at the moment, but I'm attempting
to re-compile the 2.7.0 with the supplied patch, however it keeps bombing
out when it tries to build what looks like a big-endian libsomething.
I think the problem is that the binutils from fnet.fr do not support
big-endian, so I'm going to re-compile the binutils first, then
try gcc again.
When I configure gcc, should I be generating ELF output, or
just leave it as the default? (ie: Should I be generating ELF
Linux/MIPS executables?)
Thanks,
David
